I am really disappointed with Nikon on their "free" connectivity software. The "lowly" $400 GoPro do a much much better job at that.

So does Panasonic, Fuji, and Sony. I dunno why Nikon's software always seems to suck... but it does.

I had Nikon's first "WiFi" cam years ago and it sucked as well (not to mention it went totally unsupported 6 months later after an OS update - they simply couldn't have cared less).

With that said, you have a Samsung phone, and the reality is that Samsung has more stuff overlaid on top of stock Android that tends to get in the way of other apps' connectivity. Don't get me wrong, even stock versions of Android can sometimes break stuff, but TouchWiz has a long standing reputation in this regard.

I downloaded SnapBridge yesterday and took some time at lunch to try and hook up my new D500 with my iPhone 8+. Other than me missing one step the first time through, it connected fine. Sorry can't help / test with the Samsung...
